The Costa Brava, a very popular area for divers
The Costa Brava offers a unique diving experience. You have access to many dive sites from Barcelona, Roses, Escala, Palamos, Tossa de Mar and Estartit. These spots are very popular with professional and amateur divers. There are 4 nature reserves on the Costa Brava, 3 of which are open to scuba diving. Often accessible directly by boat, these beautiful places are located on the Catalan coast.
Cap de Creus: a natural park to take your breath away
A real aquatic paradise, Cap de Creus is the place to be for divers. The seabed is lined with coral and colorful fish. The beauty of the place changes according to the seasons. Between April and May, the water is cold and the nudibranchs flood the natural park. Their vivid colors light up the basin day and night. This is one of the most popular diving spots near Rosas in Spain.
The Medes Islands: the must-see dive
Unmissable in Spain, these beautiful islands attract many tourists each year. Close to the Costa Brava, the Medes Islands are protected since 1983. This small archipelago, composed of 7 islands, is surrounded by an incredible biodiversity. You can observe a great diversity of species to the delight of divers.
The Formigues Islands
With 16 rocky islets, the Formigues Islands offer splendid scenery. Between the large rocks are numerous colonies of multicolored fish. If you're lucky enough to swim there, you can visit the wreck of the Boreas, a German navy tugboat dating from the Second World War.
